Task-based parallelization of an implicit kinetic scheme

Abstract: In this paper we present and implement the Palindromic Discontinuous Galerkin (PDG) method in dimensions higher than one. The method has already been exposed and tested in [4] in the one-dimensional context. The PDG method is a general implicit high order method for approximating systems of conservation laws. It relies on a kinetic interpretation of the conservation laws containing stiff relaxation terms. The kinetic system is approximated with an asymptotic-preserving high order DG method. We describe the parallel implementation of the method, based on the StarPU runtime library. Then we apply it on preliminary test cases.
